NCT03838159

Brief Summary

This is an open-label, randomised, two-arm, phase II, multi-centre clinical trial. 90 patients will be enrolled in this trial to examine the pathological Complete Response defined as the absence of residual tumor in lung and lymph nodes comparing patients treated with chemo-immunotherapy versus chemotherapy alone.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Evaluation of the pathological complete response (pCR)

    The pathological complete response is defined as the absence of residual tumor in lung and lymph nodes in patients treated with chemo-immunotherapy versus patients treated with chemotherapy alone.

    From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 45 months.

Study Arms (2)

Experimental: Neo-Adjuvant Immunotherapy

EXPERIMENTAL

* Neoadjuvant treatment (200 mg/m3 Paclitaxel+ AUC5 Carboplatin+ 360 mg Nivolumab) will start within 1-3 days from randomisation. 3 cycles will be administered at 21-day (+/- 3 days) intervals (QW3) prior to surgery. Before surgery a tumor assessment will be done. Patients must leave the study if there is evidence of progression. Patients with stable disease or partial response may be considered for surgery. * Surgery: Surgery must be done within the 3rd-4th week (+7 days) from day 21 cycle 3 of neoadjuvant treatment (day 42-49 after day 1 of cycle 3) . * Adjuvant treatment:Nivolumab: 480 mg Q4W (+/- 3 days) for 6 months (6 cycles). Patients that are R0 confirmed by surgical pathology evaluation will receive the first adjuvant administration within the 3rd to 8th week (+ 7 days) from surgery and for 6 months.

Drug: PaclitaxelDrug: CarboplatinDrug: Nivolumab

Control: Neo-Adjuvant Chemotherapy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

* Neoadjuvant treatment (200mg/m3 Paclitaxel+ AUC5 Carboplatin). It will start within 1-3 days from randomisation. 3 cycles will be administered at 21-day (+/- 3 days) intervals (QW3) prior to surgery. Before surgery a tumor assessment will be done. Patients must leave the study if there is evidence of progression. Patients with stable disease or partial response may be considered for surgery. * Surgery: Surgery must be done within the 3rd-4th week (+7 days) from day 21 cycle 3 of neoadjuvant treatment (day 42-49 after day 1 of cycle 3)

Drug: PaclitaxelDrug: Carboplatin

Interventions

Paclitaxel must be administered by infusion over 3 hours in dextrose (D5W) or normal saline (NS). The concentration must not exceed 1.2 mg/ml. The infusions must be mixed as soon as possible before the start of each infusion since the stability of paclitaxel beyond 24 hours is not known. In-line filtration is obligatory since a small number of fibers within the acceptable limits of the USP Particulate Matter Test for LVP have been reported. Cellulose acetate filters of 0.22-micron pore size (such as IVEX II) can be used. The solution that shows excessive particulate matter must be rejected.

Also known as: Taxol
Control: Neo-Adjuvant ChemotherapyExperimental: Neo-Adjuvant Immunotherapy

Carboplatin must be administered at the end of the Paclitaxel infusion

Also known as: Paraplatin
Control: Neo-Adjuvant ChemotherapyExperimental: Neo-Adjuvant Immunotherapy

Nivolumab is a soluble protein consisting of 4 polypeptide chains, which include 2 identical heavy chains and 2 identical light chains. The administration of nivolumab infusion must be completed within 24 hours of preparation.

  • All patients are notified of the investigational nature of this study and signed a written informed consent in accordance with institutional and national guidelines, including the Declaration of Helsinki prior to any trial-related intervention
  • Patients aged \> 18 years
  • Women of childbearing potential, including women who had their last menstrual period in the last 2 years, must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 7 days before randomization.
  • All sexually active men and women of childbearing potential must use an effective contraceptive method (two barrier methods or a barrier method plus a hormonal method) during the study treatment and for a period of at least 12 months following the last administration of trial drugs
  • Patient capable of proper therapeutic compliance and accessible for correct follow-up
  • Measurable or evaluable disease (according to RECIST 1.1 criteria)

You may not qualify if:

  • All patients carrying activating mutations in the TK domain of EGFR or any variety of alterations in the ALK gene.
  • Patients with active, known or suspected autoimmune disease. Subjects with vitiligo, type I diabetes mellitus, residual hypothyroidism due to autoimmune thyroiditis only requiring hormone replacement or unexpected conditions of recurrence in the absence of an external trigger are allowed to be included.
  • Patients with a condition requiring systemic treatment with either corticosteroids (\>10 mg daily prednisone equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medications within 14 days of randomization. Inhaled or topical steroids, and adrenal replacement steroid doses \> 10 mg daily prednisone equivalent, are permitted in the absence of active autoimmune disease.
  • Patients with a history of interstitial lung disease cannot be included if they have symptomatic ILD (Grade 3-4) and/or poor lung function. In case of doubt please contact trial team.
  • Patients with other active malignancy requiring concurrent intervention and/or concurrent treatment with other investigational drugs or anti-cancer therapy
  • Patients with previous malignancies (except non-melanoma skin cancers, and the following in situ cancers: bladder, gastric, colon, endometrial, cervical/dysplasia, melanoma, or breast) are excluded unless a complete remission was achieved at least 2 years prior to study entry AND no additional therapy is required during the study period.
  • Any medical, mental or psychological condition which in the opinion of the investigator would not permit the patient to complete the study or understand the patient information
  • Patients who have had prior treatment with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2, anti-CTLA-4 antibody, or any other antibody or drug specifically targeting T-cell costimulation or immune checkpoint pathways
